Driving through the neighborhood we saw this great Willys Jeep Pickup Truck. Our grampa had one of these that he used to deliver shrubs and trees for his plant nursery in Idaho.....Trivia: The original pronunciation of "Willys" was with a short "i" sound for the 'y"; so it was pronounced "Will-iss".

West Sacramento Photo of the Day

Dedicated to preserving a bit of history while enjoying the present in our community. I have lived in West Sacramento since 1958; long before it was incorporated as a city that consolidated the three townships of Broderick, Bryte and West Sacramento. My father-in-law, Frank Norton, was born in Broderick in 1910 in a house at 421 B Street. The West Sacramento Photo of the Day website is dedicated to him-- in memory of his magnificent stories of the old days.
